Programját

Programját is a Hungarian grammatical form that denotes “his/her/its program” when the noun is used as a definite direct object. It is formed by combining the noun program with the third-person possessive suffix (ja/je) and the definite direct-object suffix -t. The resulting form, programját, reflects both possession and definiteness in a single word.

Morphology and construction

The base word is program. To indicate ownership for a third person, Hungarian adds the possessive suffix -ja or -je, resulting in programja or programje. To mark the object as definite, the suffix -t is appended, giving programját. The exact -ja/-je choice follows standard Hungarian vowel harmony rules. In everyday writing, the sequence is understood as a single possessive definite object form rather than separate words.

Usage

Programját is used when the speaker refers to a specific program belonging to someone or something and treats the program as a definite object in the sentence. Examples include:

- Láttam a programját. (I saw his/her/its program.)

- Megnyitottam a programját. (I opened his/her/its program.)

If the ownership is clear from context or stated explicitly with a separate possessive pronoun, other forms may be used, but programját remains the conventional definite-object construction for the third-person possessive.

Notes

The form is common in written and spoken Hungarian when a definite object needs to be specified alongside possession. It differs from possessive forms without the definite object marker (e.g., programja) that do not signal definiteness of the object. As with other Hungarian inflected forms, correct usage depends on context and syntactic role within the sentence.
